There's no such thing as a covid visa. There's an "unable to travel due to covid" extension. Are you unable to travel?

What should I know before returning to Thailand after leaving on an expired volunteer visa?

Bobby ********

Scott Williams. Yes, but a volunteer visa is associated with a work permit, and to the best of my knowledge they both have to be formally cancelled

When you say "one of those visas", you're talking about the bogus agency-obtained visas? If so, was it cancelled before you left?

Stan Mould. As I said, it's an individual choice. Making a monthly transfer is not a worry. It takes a few minutes. I have to transfer money to live on anyway, so it's a total no-brainer. I couldn't justify losing $2200 AUD in lost interest. It comfortably pays for a decent health insurance. But - as I say - each to their own!

John Russell. If it suits you, then it's all good. I just couldn't give up 800k baht which I can never touch, when I can do a simple transfer once a month and access the money the moment it hits my bank account. For me, it's a no-brainer, but for others it probably works. Each to their own!

Ross Dobson. It's one way of looking at it, but I'm not prepared to base financial decisions on the remote possibility of the "shit hitting the fan". I'm simply one of those people who believes in making their money work, and I cannot foresake 7-8% interest just in the off-chance of something going wrong!
